UPDATE: CREDIT CARD FRAUD
While I was at work today I called Detective Mackowiak from Goshen PD, and reiterated what had happened since he forgot who I was since last talking with him less than 24 hours before. He must be a busy man since he was taking another report from another incident. He let me know he was busy and that he would call me back. I waited and never heard from him. I also called The Bank today and told them that our account was supposed to be taken care of and that I was still in the hole and need to pay bills. My banker then called me back and told me that I should have it taken care of by tomorrow morning. I just checked my account and all seems well, I am in the positive numbers again, but can not view some pending transactions because of routine maintence that happens every night. After calling The Bank I talked to the accounting office at Wal-Mart and they said that I could get copies of the receipts if I came in. They said they would let a manager know that I was coming in since they would be leaving at 2pm which is before I get off of work. After work I hauled my butt on into Wal-Mart with Katy, so that I could copies of the receipts that I had requested. The manager couldn’t give me copies of the transactions but gave me enough info to make me happy.
Two black men went back to electronics and purchased a giftcard for $800 using my wife’s bank card. The men came back shortly after to the same cashier (#1) and decided they wanted to purchase two Playstation 3’s (The 60GB model) and used the giftcard ($800) and charged the rest on our bank card. After getting away with this the men decided that they wanted to reload the same card with another $400. Apparently there was another cashier involved in this transaction (Cashier #2), she thought this was suspicious and asked for the card and ID, and the men took off. The card was reloaded with $400 but the cashier must of realized this before giving the card back to the men. Wal-mart then realized they had screwed up and allegedly credited back my card.
Now mind you, the manager on duty would not let me see any of the transactions. When asked about the second cashiers name she said she had to go look it up. She then went into the office for some time and came out and gave me her name and seemed to look around for her and say that she was there. After coming home I realized that the three transactions were done minutes apart (7:38, 7:39, and 7:40), so how could another cashier come into play? Is the manager giving me false information to cover her butt and the other cashier? Any why wouldn’t she give me the receipts even though I was told I would be able to have them? To me it looks like Wal-Mart is covering their butts because they fucked up. I will find out some more information tomorrow. I really want to get to the bottom of this. Also I have the serial numbers for the PS3’s
